 		Trust
I don't know if I can trust the most recent picture given to us. The reason is the following:

As you can see from the picture below, all of the other pictures show a small portion of the outside boarder cut off just to the left of the "VI". The newest one does not have that. Either it's a fake, or there's is another reason for it being different then the others.

I have serious doubts about some of the pictures released. If they didn't come from Lutz, I doubt they're real.

 		MMMM arg's Very Happy

So this is my first post involveing this. I just finished reading the ENTIRE thread ( a good suggestion for anyone looking to involve themselves ). I figure'd I'd try and offer something.
This is a blogspot site so i'm not sure how relevant it is. I do remember the site was used in ilovebees however.

http://lutz.blogspot.com

typed that in and got a page. babelfish translates it into

I think the airplane photo is real and it is a major clue. There is a story brewing here. If it is authentic, the plane's number HAS to be signifigant somehow. I'm looking into it.

 		The blogspot has not been given to us by Lutz directly. I would consider EVERYTHING out of game unless it was given by Lutz in the beginning.

Ourcolony had this same problem with fakers, don't fall for it.

 		Has anything linked this back to Microsoft at all? With origen there was clues early on that this was a sponsored MS 'event', and i wonder if we're all at the mercy of a bunch of some (very resourceful) practical jokers...

Were there clues on the link to MS for ourcolony and ilovebees as well?

EDIT:Allard had an ant tshirt on to signal they were behind ourcolony, so i'm really just asking about ilovebees...

Wow I just got a reply from 42!!!

Guess all those pizzas I sent them paid off...

Hi E,

Thanks for your e-mail. No, we are not behind that. We have no idea how the rumor got started.

It's a shame that people take advantage of our brand to publicize their own viral advertisements, but there's not much we can do about it as we are maintaining a curtain for another game (which is keeping us busy every second of the day--no time to consider looking at Another Countdown Timer).

It is also a shame that people are sometimes gullible and accept any online article or anonymous post as a fact.

*Name Withheld*


So I think we can stop all the discussion about 42 being behind this now. Please. It's not 42.

I have no idea why people on the Internet always lie. Confused Like this!

No, of course that's not a real e-mail from 42.. But come on people! I try to resist saying anything but you're not helping me out here! Repeat after me: NOT 42. STUPID VIRAL AD. FREEBIES DON'T MAKE ME DROOL.


Nice one Eshan Wink

Re the Hex168 site - this Lutz fellow says he lives in a Bunker Complex. Microsoft is based out of Washington. There is a Bunker, Washington.

Area Code for Bunker, WA: 360

He also says he's miles under the Saskatchewan crust. Saskatchewan Area Code: 306.

Coinkidink?




I don't know if that guy realizes it, but Lutz says his bunker is miles below Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan is a province in Canada so I dont think its the bunker in Washington.

The Halo 2 teaser-trailer released in theaters briefly flashed www.ilovebees.com. That drove untold thousands of Xbox/Halo/Bungie fanboys to ILB. At about the same time, the PM's fedexed strange packages to selected members of Unfiction. This put Unfiction and Xbox fanboys on a colission course that resulted in ILB being so immensely popular, and interestingly merged Unfiction with all things Xbox.

 		The London bus is fake

Sorry for my London fake - I'm a graphic designer, the temptation was unbearable!

Y'know, this campaign sounds like a famous 1979 UK book called Masquarade by Kit Williams. It had a small tree on the cover, featured a Hare throughout, and lead to a treasure using visual clues and riddles - sound familiar? Nothing's new...

Anyway, I'll not stencil spray any more London buses, they don't like that

Is it just me or does anyone elts see how dumb a comment that is? Ok maybe that wasn't the best way to start this post. Let me start again.

umm is it just me or does anyone elts see it... The symble is scrached/cut/dug into its shape and design. The person or persons who made this had only 2 colors to work with. If you notce the other pics are useing the darker color to make the lines. So the spaces have to be the lighter color. But in the bushes they used the lighter color for the lines so it looks like its wrong but its not. I think that eather all the pics are legit. The only one I'm alittle iffy on is the 4th pic that you showed.

*Edit* Just read the post above mine and I see that the 4th/london bus was faked.
